an agreement entered into canada will only make the problem worse for u.s. exporters and our farmers. fact that each of these agreements is critical to our economy, for my home state of utah and for workers across the country, they mean more opportunity than jobs. it's a slam dunk for the president to create jobs by just getting these agreements up here and getting them passed. the national association of manufacturers estimates that u.s. workers lose $8 million in wages and benefits every day that these agreements are delayed. now i for one stand ready to continue to fight for their consideration and approval. we've come a long way this year, but we're not yet done. i hope the president will heed my comments and submit these tkpwraepts to congress so we can -- agreements to skopbg we can approve them but history has shown this president won't act unless he's forced to. this amendment will continue to put pressure on him to act. i encourage my colleagues to support it. the taoeuplt for dithering -- the time for deliberation is over. let's adopt my amendment.
